Abstract:

Begun in 2010 as part of the “Histories of Literatures in European Languages”
series sponsored by the International Comparative Literature Association, the
current project on New Literary Hybrids in the Age of Multimedia Expression
recognizes the global shift toward the visual and the virtual in all areas of
textuality: the printed, verbal text is increasingly joined with the visual,
often electronic, text. This shift has opened up new domains of human
achievement in art and culture. The international roster of 24 contributors to
this volume pursue a broad range of issues under four sets of questions that
allow a larger conversation to emerge, both inside the volume’s sections and
between them. The four sections cover, 1) Multimedia Productions in
Theoretical and Historical Perspective; 2) Regional and Intercultural
Projects; 3) Forms and Genres; and, 4) Readers and Rewriters in Multimedia
Environments. The essays included in this volume are examples of the kinds of
projects and inquiries that have become possible at the interface between
literature and other media, new and old. They emphasize the extent to which
hypertextual, multimedia, and virtual reality technologies have enhanced the
sociality of reading and writing, enabling more people to interact than ever
before. At the same time, however, they warn that, as long as these
technologies are used to reinforce old habits of reading/ writing, they will
deliver modest results. One of the major tasks pursued by the contributors to
this volume is to integrate literature in the global informational environment
where it can function as an imaginative partner, teaching its interpretive
competencies to other components of the cultural landscape.
